Satan's Goldfish Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 It kinda falls in this bracket, but has the Vodafone advert been mentioned yet? (I did a quick search but couldn't find it on here) Non-aircon mk2 stock by the looks of it so guessing a preserved line was used rather than national network! 2 things though; firstly, does it bug the ###### out of anyone else that judging by the scenery out the windows he is walking towards the front of the train, but at the end he's in the window at the rear? Continuity has failed a bit there! And secondly which station is that at the end? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They missed the down starter on platform 5... There's a sizeable embankment over the loading dock and carriage sheds in the old goods yard... I don't think the Bluebell has any Mark 2s either...

birdseyecircus Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 The final shot of that coach from the ad appears to be CGI rather than it just going away from the camera. Paul 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Andy Kirkham Posted March 28, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) Has anyone mentioned the (only partially surviving) Ghost Train of 1931? https://player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/watch-the-ghost-train-1931-online The opening scenes are of Camerton and the climactic scene shows the swing span of Barmouth Bridge opening and Dean Goods 2441 very convincingly plunging into the waters of the Mawddach. The latter scene was re-used in the 1941 version with Arthur Askey. Edited March 29, 2019 by Andy Kirkham 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the train is coming into the station from the north, but they have flipped the image left-to-right. Only way it explains the roof profile to the station building.

I saw it when it was on a few months ago and Arthur Askey's antics made it almost unwatchable- every scene had be about him. Though he was very well before my time It's only in the past few years that people seem to have stopped persisting with that really annoying Ay-Thang-Yaw catchphrase (I suppose "stupid boy" and "Listen carefully I shall say zis only once" are just as dated now) The railway stuff was interesting if completely improbable- the idea of a swing bridge being operated from a station a mile or so away and out of sight?

Not sure about the carriage sidings. Amazing to see my former home station Grateley in those including the windmill for pumping water out of the well. The carriage sidings is Clapham Jn yard seen from approximately where the road entrance to the yard is located now with the NR DU office on the right, that shed was demolished in the 1980's ....................

jetmorgan Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Another Talking Pics TV film on a short while ago "Jigsaw" starring Jack Warner as yet another policeman. Shot around Brighton, Saltdean and Lewes with a few railway shots in it. Brighton station is very recognizable as is Lewes. Not sure where the pic of the Standard tank was taken though 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Andy Kirkham Posted July 21, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) I've just watched the film of John Le Carré's The Looking Glass War (1970). A still photo of a railway yard, supposedly in East Germany, provides the pretext for the mission because it shows what might be part of a missile. If any of the secret service personnel had been trainspotters, they might have had cause to doubt the authenticity of the picture as the loco in it was a Class 37.

dvdlcs Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Was rewatching the BBC series "Pie in the Sky" recently. Episode 3 of Series 1 (from 1994) had the characters go up to London to source food for the restaurant. Leaving 'Middleton' station, with a NSE sign the train to London was shown as a four car DMU in blue/grey livery - I assume Class 115 as the front end looked like one and they were in 4-car sets. Travelling back they were initially in a NSE liveried 319 EMU, but when they decided to upgrade themselves from the cramped standard (or was it still second?) class to first, they ended up in what looked like a Mk1 compartment. Nice work from the continuity department :-) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugd1022 Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 There's a brief but rather nice view of Paddington in a 1964 episode of 'Dangerman' which I watched the other night, a Bentley Continental Flying Spur drives down the taxi ramp at the country end of platform 8 with a rake of maroon and choc & cream stock behind it.
